Shipping Speakers


How does one go about packing shipping speakers without breaking the bank (and the speakers)? I have speakers for sale and I put local pickup as a shipping method but I'm getting asked about shipping. I don't have the original packaging but the quotes I'm getting from my local packaging office are pretty steep. Any ideas?

Here's what I do with monitor sized speakers:
1. Buy the x-large heavy duty trash bags from Home Depot, lay the bag flat and gift wrap the speaker like you would wrap a gift;
2. Buy solid sheets of styrofoam and place several inches of solid styrofoam all around the speaker and buy a box large enough for several inches of styrofoam.
3. With this much solid styrofoam encasing the speaker, one box may be sufficient, but double box it just to be safe
